He won the Wilson's Classic and then the Yamaha International Masters and English Professional titles in 1981,and became the bookmakers' favourite to win the 1981 World Championship, despite being seeded only 15. After struggling to a 10 8 win over a young Jimmy White in the opening round, he defeated Higgins in the second round and Griffiths in the quarter-finals, before outlasting defending champion Cliff Thorburn in a gruelling semi-final. Davis's 18 12 victory over Doug Mountjoy in the final confirmed his status as the world champion, and in celebration his manager Barry Hearn charged across the arena to lift him up in the air.
